The rounds ends before the tap out comes, but Edgar dominated the entire fight. Any time Sherk got inside where his punches could do damage Edgar went to the body with punches or faked shots to keep Sherks hands down low and not allow him to throw his power punches. Amazing performance from Edgar he looked like a top 5 fighter tonight.

Final result: Frank Edgar defeats Sean Sherk via Unanimous Decision

And the new light heavyweight champion of the world Lyota the Dragon Machidaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!! WAR MAchida!!!

And he will celebrate with a big glass of his own URINE…. I think he will win also.

by BeerMan on Mar 25, 2009 10:00 AM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

I say market the urine. “You want to be the cahmp, drink Dragon Juice!” I’m really excited for this fight. I’m calling Machida, but I’m not sure how it will play out. This is more exciting than two brawlers IMO.

by Punch You in the Ovaries on Mar 25, 2009 11:44 AM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Ha! Market the urine- god call. I can’t wait to see this fight either. I hope it’s not a boring one….their styles are so different. Hard to predict. But I’ll be pulling for Machida.

by justagirl on Mar 25, 2009 7:31 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

This is gonna be a boring but rather technical fight. Machida UD. They will both play a similar game but machida will be better at it.

by NameNotRequired on Mar 25, 2009 8:06 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

NNR, we think alike. I also envision a UD by the Dragon pisser using his elusiveness and tricky shotokan sh1t.

In any case, here are the winners:

-Machida[via piss breath]
-Matt Serra[via looping punch]
-Koscheck[via overhand right, though The Professor could beat him in the stand up, so Kos will outwrestle him instead]
-Dan Miller[I don’t like Thunder, he technically defeated my boy Spider]
-Sean Sherk[via Muscle Sharker]
-Irvin [via Superman punch]
-Pat Barry
-Phillipe Nover[via nurse brutality]
-Andre gusmao[via Houston’s glass jaw]
-Double KO to both Zenko and Wolff]{Im taking Zenko}
-Roop[though I like Kaplan ’coz of his entrance songs]

That’s a wrap folks!!

Rashad will knock his unibrow clean off if he’s able to get close enough.

by RJ on May 23, 2009 5:26 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Lyoto beats Rashad via golden shower. Rashad will more than likely be a little pissed off.. or pissed on zing! Lol its too easy to make jokes. Anyway I’m just very excited about seeing this card and also I’m happy to see the finally put Yushin back on the main card where he belongs. So here’s my predicitons.

Lyoto unanimous decision
Hughes tko 2nd
Yushin tko 3rd
Sherk decision
Kos tko… maybe decision

Undercard (which I don’t think we’ll get to see any of)
Yoshida tko 3rd
Nover RNC 1st
McFedries KO 1st (very unhappy with how much Irvin let me down against Silva)
Roop by whatever he wants (Kaplans a chump)
And finally Andre with the upset over Alaxander

Yeah the whole pee thing is creepy…..

by Dragon on Mar 25, 2009 10:04 AM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Houston loosing is not an upset

Kos, machida, sherk, okami and hughes could be 3/5 rounders

sherk and okami’s fight will more than likely be boring but machida and kos’ fight will probably be good 3/5 rounders that i cant wait to see

i think no one thinks drew/irvin fight will go all the way and i hope we get to see it…. i wonder what the odds on that fight going 3 rounds are??

anyways i see irvin winning that…. i think irvin can be so much better than he is now… he has good potential

by ufcaddict on Mar 25, 2009 11:23 AM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

I agree that any of those fights can go the distance which isn’t too bad because I like almost all of those fighters. But come on now you guys know what I mean about Houston being upset. He’s a name favorite not necessarily a betting favorite so I was just saying he’s going to get beat. I really hope your right about Irvin though, I used to like his fights but the Silva fight really took a lot of luster from him. Hopefully he comes out with a vengance but I don’t think he’s going to be mentally ready and thus will get KO’d.

by Cogito Ergo Sum on Mar 25, 2009 12:31 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

I wouldnt consider anybody beating Houston a upset.

I can’t say “I’m very excited” to watch this card, I wish I can just order the main event for $15 or something! Ah well…

cogito fuck that, irvin still has a pretty good chin and i think he will get a very fast ko

My UFC 98 main card victors:

Machida UD
Hughes Sub
Koscheck TKO
Okami UD
Sherk UD

Way too many wrestler match-ups on this card for my liking… and probably a lot of fights going the distance. Guess we’ll see.

by Jeremyjackson on Mar 25, 2009 10:09 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Rashad won’t be losing this fight…I’m sorry to disappoint all the new Machida bandwagon jumpers. Rashad may be the underdog but that suits him just fine…he has the belt…if Machida wants it he has to do something he’s not used to…he’s going to have to be the aggressor moreso in this fight. Rashad is a great counter puncher himself and I think Rashad matches up really well against Lyoto. All of Lyoto’s opponents in the UFC have had to take the fight to Machida because a win over him would mean big things for their opponents. This isn’t the case for Rashad in this fight. He’s already at the top.

Lyoto is a very technical and accurate striker…comes from his karate background…he’s used to using strikes to score points. He’s got a solid repetoire of kicks as well. He has decent takedown defense but his takedown defence is based on his solid footwork…not on a sprawl technique. He’s able to get away from takedown attempts quickly that come from a ways away. I know he’s a BJJ black belt but I haven’t seen him use it too much other than the sub against Soko but needless to say he’s got game on the ground. He has solid cardio and 5 rounds shouldn’t be an issue with him. He doesn’t take a lot of damage thanks to his excellent backpeddling…I mean that in a good way. It’s not easy to get out of danger as easily as he makes it look.

Rashad is a very strong fighter. I think his overall strength is underrated. He overpowered some of the bigger heavyweights during TUF 2. His hand speed is, in my opinion, the fastest in the division and the power behind those punches can be devastating. He has KO power. His footwork is as good as Machida and his head movement is also. Rashad is a decent defensive boxer but isn’t afraid to plant his feet and slug it out with anyone. His cardio has come a long way and I’ll tell you why. His wrestling is no longer his primary weapon…it’s an insurance policy and a damn good one. Go back to the Bisping fight…Rashad attempted like 7 takedowns in that 1st round…that exhausted him and he tried about a dozen takedowns that entire fight. That’d gas anyone. He doesn’t need to rely on his wrestling anymore. Rashad has never even been close to being in danger on the ground and his ground and pound is exceptional.

I like this matchup a lot and this is the toughest test for both fighters but Rashad has what Machida wants…so he has to come and get it…but he will fail.

WAR EVANS!!!!

Bluster Bluth – - – HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! Bad call bro. Bad call.

by RedDog on May 24, 2009 3:25 AM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

You have some excellent points there Buster Bluth, tha a lot of fans will completely ignore.I have been a fan of both these guys for a while, even though they seemed to be two of the most disliked fighters in the UFC. Evans for beating fan favourites Chuck and Forrest, and Machida because a lot of fans were not happy because he didn’t want to stand and trade and get punched in the face. Not enough fans give Rashad the respect he deserves and a lot of fans would love him to lose to Machida because they like him even less. I picked Rashad to beat Chuck when the majority were saying he had no chance. I said at the time he is one of the most versatile light heavyweights in the division and that only because Chuck is supposed to be the better striker, it doesn’t mean that he will not get caught by Rashad who is a very capable striker. This will also apply when he fights Machida. Rashad still has some of the most explosive takedowns in the division which we haven’t seen in a while, but may well do on the night. You can tell what a lot of fighters are going to do when they step into the octogon, but Rashad is one of the few fighters who you cannot tell what he is going to do. He’s thinking all the time and adapts to his opponent and the situation as the fight progresses. Rashad has never faced anyone like Machida, but that works both ways. I like these fighters equally. Rashad because he’s proved a lot of doubters wrong, and he has worked hard to get where he’s at. If he does beat Machida it will not surprise me at all.

Machida wins by TKO strikes in the fourth round.
It will begin with knees when Evans realizes he can’t win standing up and tries to shoot.

I think Hughes will pull it out but it will be a war. I think Serra is over confident and Hughes has newfound motivation.

Koscheck will get the win he needs.

Sherk will overpower his opponent.

Does anyone see the main event as two fighters showing off their dance moves bobin and weavin and avoiding each other until i think rashad will prob just get lucky and chin machida in one of the oh maybe 5 exchanges will see the entire length of the fight lol.

by Answer Me NOW on May 23, 2009 11:43 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Wait why is James Irvin moving down to 185? Didn’t he get enough of Silva at 205? Why on earth would he want to go into Silvas’ territory?

by Dragon on Mar 25, 2009 9:46 AM EDT reply actions   0 recs

he is not gonna get anywhere near a title shot so he is pretty safe in there :-)

by shamo84 on Mar 25, 2009 9:58 AM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

True, but would’nt he get bigger paychecks at 205?

by Dragon on Mar 25, 2009 10:02 AM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Well, I’ll throw out my predictions here:

Shad_ TKO in the champ rounds or a close decision
Hughes_ dominating Unanimous Dec
Sherk_ 1st round TKO (call me crazy)
Kos _ UD (LnP/GnP)
Okami_ UD (Miller will try to fight back…)
Irvin_ TKO (McFedries suck)
Barry_ TKO (really hope we get to see this guy)
Nover_ submission (its a gimme)
Houstan_ TKO (hope he loses and is gone forever though)
Yoshida_ TKO (I remember Killa B’s Thai clinic he put on Wolff)
Roop_ UD (I hate that other guy)

by Synyster on Mar 25, 2009 9:49 AM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Its weird, when you compare Hughes’ record to Serra’s, you want to ask yourself why and how a fight like that gets booked. Hughes almost has as many losses as Serra has wins. 42-7 vs 9-5

The same goes for Sherk/Edgar. 33-3 vs 9-1

Crazy..

by Synyster on Mar 25, 2009 9:57 AM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

right, so the only one hughes can fight is shonie carter..

That is true,compare records and it doesnt make sense but I guess the name does.

I remeber a while back Vernon White was booked to fight some guy I forget who but they cancelled it because it wasnt fair do to the experience.But if you look at it there is a shit load of that in the UFC.

Well Synister I will have to agree with your picks for now,except I take Gusmao.

by NM on Mar 25, 2009 3:19 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Kos is gonna try to stand with Wilson and lose his head again. Sherk via crisp boxing and hughes gets smashed standing and on the ground unless he LNP’s. Barry by leg kicks.

Machida’s fights are BOOOOORIIIIIIIING. He sucks his opponents in and then finishes them off in a very slow, mundane fashion.

KNOCK HIM OUT, SUGAR!!!

by TJ on Mar 25, 2009 9:52 AM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Do What!!?? He is not boring. The dude has got phenominal footwork and gets hit less than any other fighter in ufc history. Did you even see his last fight vs. Silva? That ko was f**king brutal.

by Dragon on Mar 25, 2009 9:55 AM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

He is boring. Along with Sean Sherk. I’m a fan of Sherk, and his last fight was pretty exciting, but he still has the reputaiton of a boring wrestler. I haven’t jumped on Machida’s hit and run style. I don’t think I will. Liddell had an aggressive counter punch style. Machida not so much. The Ortiz fight was his most exciting fight for me.

by Synyster on Mar 25, 2009 9:59 AM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Everyone is intitled to their own opinion, but if you put yourself in his shoes and imagine winning everyone of your fights without getting hit, it’s pretty impressive. I like Rashad to, but I ot alot of respect for machida, the dude is really really good.

by Dragon on Mar 25, 2009 10:01 AM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

I’ll give him props for being dominant in his fights yeah. Not getting hit is very impressive. I just dont like the way he does it.

by Synyster on Mar 25, 2009 10:02 AM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Right and Liddell is doing so great now. Sean Sherk has lost to who? Lol BJ Penn, Matt Hughes, and GSP… wow and who has Lyoto lost to? So your not going to jump on their bandwagon but why would they need you to anyway? These two are sick fighters and their records show it, whether they be boring or not they win and prove their dominance so I’m always willing to watch. After Penn retires who do you think is taking the LW title? Florian? Diego? Don’t make me laugh both those guys are going to get schooled by Sherk along with Edgar. And Lyoto will have the belt when he decks Rashad so when they are on top I hope I don’t see you jumping their badwagons.

by Cogito Ergo Sum on Mar 25, 2009 10:06 AM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

I used to dislike him as well, and I think it sucks that he don’t get more recognition just cause he is not “exciting”. If you ask me he should have gotten a title shot a long time ago. I hate how fights are set up on popularity and not acheivments. Besides winning is winning look where being exciting got gurgel. Not that gurgel was overly exciting but he tried.

by Dragon on Mar 25, 2009 10:07 AM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Dude I said I’m a fan of Sherk. I like watching him fight. I dont think he’s boring. I said he has a repuation as a boring wrestler. And I never said anything about Chuck being better than anyone or doing great. I said he had an aggresive counter punching style compared to Machida’s counter and move style. I like’d watching Chuck more than Machida. Its my opinion.

Learn how to read.

When The Iceman was knocked out[complete with the smacking sound], I jumped to my feet and shouted for I was heavily rooting for him[I hate Rashad]. My shout echoed throughout the whole house that my mom was alarmed and thought something bad had happened. I just pointed to the TV sayin’, “Sorry ma, si Chuck bangkay!”[Sorry mom, but Chuck’s a corpse!!"]

I agree. I have no expectations in this fight. It will either be very exciting or very boring bu shades of grey. Sugar is not always quick on the start (he is smart & often waits for the counter), Machida is a slow starter. I think Machida will probably change is game plan from his past fights being that Sugar is so quick & Machida can not fight as he has in the past.

Rashad has proven me wrong before, but Machida just seems too slick. I don’t see anyone beating him right now. That being said, he hasn’t faced anyone Rashad’s caliber yet. That’s why this has the potential to be a very intriguing fight, albeit a boring one.

by Jeremyjackson on Mar 25, 2009 8:18 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

and Rashad isn’t boring? Did you watch his fight with Bisping where he almost gassed Rashad’s fights are all boring except for the ones he had spectacular finishes in by catching his opponents. So thats like what? 3 or 4 where he got some KOs? Other than that I hate watching Rashad. If Rashad can get aggressie and go after people a little more, he might convert me. I just don’t like watching him mimic Footloose and circle and run like he does so much. He’s a good wrestler he should shoot for a TD and work some GnP more often, but now he is only looking for a KO and it obvious….

by Chadx23 on Mar 25, 2009 11:51 AM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

WOW was that a contradiction.

First we say: “Rashad’s fights are all boring except for the ones he had spectacular finishes in by catching his opponents. So thats like what? 3 or 4 where he got some KOs? Other than that I hate watching Rashad. If Rashad can get aggressie and go after people a little more, he might convert me.”

And then goes on to say: “He’s a good wrestler he should shoot for a TD and work some GnP more often, but now he is only looking for a KO and it obvious….”

In short “Rashad is boring unless he KO’s someone. If he tried to Ko more people I’d be converted to a fan of his. He should use his wrestling and LnP, but instead he is dumb and tries to KO people so I’ll never like him.”

Am I the only one that found that somewhat funny?

Peechida has never seen combo of speed and power shad possesses.It will take a round or so to figure out peechidas head movement.Once he figures that out, he’ll land a few big shots standing up.Then take peechida to mat and pound his head thru the mat.go rashad and when u win give another shout out to Lansing Mi will ya?

I have never understood why they post this so early before a UFC fight. They don’t do that for affliction or any other promotion. Its always a couple days before. But for the UFC its a whole month before the actual event. Maybe its just my opinion but it seems excessive.

Serra beating hughes isn’t a long shot but it is very unlikely imo. Besides a lucky shot that rattled gsp enough to where he could finish him serra never looked good. Hughes should be able to wear him down and get full mount and pound him out in the 3rd.I mean hughes held belt for like 2 yrs. Serra held for 2 months. But u never know and that’s the beauty of mma.

by mr guillotine on Mar 25, 2009 4:28 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Power doesn’t help much when you can’t land your shots. Try too hard to land and you play right into Lyoto’s hands. I see Machida outpointing Rashad and winning every round.

by Jeremyjackson on Mar 25, 2009 8:11 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

We’ll see about that I realize peechida is very elusive ,but don’t look for rashad to just take the bait and chase him. I think rashad will do a good job of cutting of the angles, and not let lyoto move backward. Evans is not thiago silva,he isn’t gonna just walk straight toward him he has great head movement. Not to mention we all know greg is gonna have a master gameplan to not only beat but to finish machida. I don’t do that war cry. I’ll just say Go Shad!!

As someone said before, gameplans are thrown out of the window when you get punched in the face.

by Syd[a.k.a."The Negation"] on Mar 26, 2009 12:46 AM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Like how the game plan went out the window after chuck hit him in the face? Or when griffin kicked his lead leg 8 times ,and landed the best punch forrest has to offer as time expired in 2nd rd? Don’t know about u but I know lyoto doesn’t have as much power as those two. His most impressive ko the mat did half the work, silvas head had nowhere to go. If they are standing up when that punch is landed,he may fall but they go to round 2. I’ll be the first to admit lyoto is a beast and he’s gonna be a successful fighter, just not at rashads expense!!

I think this is a toss up fight, both these fighters are very talented. Both these fighters will be in the ufc for a long time. I think the major advantage is the team rashad trains with, anf the gameplan team jackson is sure to have ready. Imo they should try and get this fight to the ground as many times as possible. That will be hard vs the elusive machida, but rashad is a class A wrestler and will be able to take him down. Funny call on mr pee otine vm I probably deserved that. Holla at your boy

Rashad will win he has fought better oponents in his last 3 fights. Machida will get a rude awakening.. i see machida will take the belt in six months not tonight. I think silver’s poor performance in his last fight made machida look more impressive then he actually is!! There is a lot of pressure on machida as well rashad will go in thinking everone is against him and that he has nothing to lose because most people dont give hima chance. I hope this fight is not left to the judges i want 1 clear winner..

I agree with what Dana said about Machida become comfortable and now I think we’ve seen the comfortable Machida who finishes fights. I’m already gonna call it, Machida by TKO over Rampage.

haha all u guys lov machida now but after he fought tito u hated him, i know sum of u guys r real fans but alot, and wen i say alot i mean ALOT, of u guys will lov him..

Nasty man, very nasty ko. I gotta rewind that.

by DSmith on May 24, 2009 12:46 AM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Well even the sun shines on a dogs azz every once and awhile.Machidas reign will be short lived,just like Forrest’s and Rashad’s.Rampage will own…OWN Machida

by SluggerCitySoldier on May 24, 2009 12:44 AM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Page doesn’t stand a chance. Rampage running searching for the flash ko is not gonna cut it here my friend.

by DSmith on May 24, 2009 12:48 AM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

I disagee..Machida does’nt stand a chance.Rampage wins via vicious slam through the cage floor.

by SluggerCitySoldier on May 24, 2009 12:50 AM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

I don’t tink so…

by Ninja Robot on May 24, 2009 1:47 AM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

rampage has no kicks and no submissions, so how can he beat Machida?

by matt on May 24, 2009 12:46 AM EDT reply actions   0 recs

right left right combo and its over.Just ask Wandy,Chuck,Forrest,Keith…ect…ect…

by SluggerCitySoldier on May 24, 2009 12:47 AM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Except that Forrest beat him

by enzo-enormous on May 24, 2009 12:51 AM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

rampage walks forward till he finds a opening to ko his enemy, but forest beat him wiht a less technical version of machida’s style, jackson will not win..

by guyverbob on May 24, 2009 12:54 AM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

And he barely beat Jardine too. Strong arguement SluggerCitySoldier.

by DSmith on May 24, 2009 1:00 AM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

No Forrest won the Fight ..technically… but he did not beat him.Forrest got a lucky nod even he knows it.

by SluggerCitySoldier on May 24, 2009 1:03 AM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

how did he get lucky wen rampage was the one only landing one or two punches to get points..

by guyverbob on May 24, 2009 1:15 AM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

You’re a fool if you think he can land ANYTHING never mind a whole combo. Tonight was the first time we saw Machida get touched and Evans is faster than Rampage. Silly rabbit.

by DSmith on May 24, 2009 12:59 AM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

ahhhhh rampage cant knock out what he cant hit, and he won’t be able to hit Machida

by matt on May 24, 2009 12:54 AM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Rampage is flat footed, and he is not a smart guy. Rampage is tough but not evolving. Rampage is a dumb man- did you see him coach tuff? Worst coach ever!!! Machida is a skilled martial artist like Anderson Silva, and will keep the belt for a minimum 4 fights, or 2 years.

all you clowns talk,but i just won enough money to buy a new house.THANKS MACHITA

by buck f on May 24, 2009 1:20 AM EDT reply actions   0 recs

What kinda of house? You should have bet on MACHIDA. Then you would have won enough money to buy a real house.

by protecvideo on May 24, 2009 2:18 AM EDT reply actions   0 recs

hey Light Heavy Weights! better go down to 185 or move up to Heavy Weight because at this point you all know that you’ll never had a chance to hold the belt while machida is still in his prime!

by madrummer on May 24, 2009 2:38 AM EDT reply actions   0 recs

unbelievable I bet on machida but not that he would win like that!! that guy is impressive! Im glad to see matt hughes win and sean sherk.. what happened!?

by El Paladin on May 24, 2009 5:57 AM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Evans is a total punk & a coward… glad to see him lose so definitively – no excuses for that punk bitch.

I lost what little respect I had for him when he said Jardine would never get a shot at his belt allegedly because they are from the same camp, but we all know it was because Jardine would beat Evans’ ass like he did during TUF2. Keith really won that prelim fight, so Rashad never should have been in the spot to lose to Machida.

i think evans mess up when he try to stand up.he is a wrestler thats really what got him half way to the title.he knew machida never lost a round. he is a stand up fighter and he master that.machida probably been trainig since he 5.evans should had made it hard on him with his wrestling. took machida out of his game. rampage need focus on a differnt style he need some new tricks. i like rampage he is real.
